Chapter 50. No more renting

In Class I was thinking about this thing, leading to several times the teacher named to answer the question, did not answer correctly, or Liang Xinmiao help.

When I got home from class, I brought the matter up with my mother. Destroyed in a word from mom.

"Not enough money. "

I thought, is also, although the family Malatang money, but this is only how long, more than a thousand, most also do not have, so I also stopped this thought.

As a result, not two days later, the landlord who rented our Malatang shop said that someone wanted to buy his shop, he did not rent to us.

That day after class, my brother and I were helping to pack up the shop, ready to go home, the landlord just appeared in front of our shop without warning.

We saw the landlord, at first thought it was to collect rent, but here is actually a very cheap rent, it is only two dollars a month. So we also give the rent in good time, this month there is no meaning in arrears.

Who knew the landlord would come up and say.

"You're going to have to clean up these days and get ready to move. We're not going to rent it, we're going to sell it. "

It was A Bolt from the Blue for us, because it was hard to find a store, and the business was doing well, and it might not have been as good if we had suddenly moved.

As soon as she heard that the landlord was giving up, she came up to him and asked.

"Is that because the rent is low? You can raise our rent. " Mother asked nervously, grabbing the apron in front of her.

This Malatang shop is a source of income for our family, so we don't want to close it unless we have to.

"It's not the rent, it's someone who wants to buy it, and the price is right, " the landlord said with a sheepish look.

It's all about the money, really.

"If you want to sell, we'll give you the same price, " I said anxiously.

Want to come here a few square place, also won't be too expensive, before mother said money is not enough to buy over there, this should be no problem.

"Right Ah Right AH, the landlord you see? " Sure enough, my mother a listen to my words even agreed to nod.

"It's not that I won't sell it to you, but I've already signed an agreement with someone, and I can't just break it. " The landlord looked at US helplessly, then ignored us and walked out the door, and he said, "you can move your stuff in a couple of days. I told them I'd give you three days. "

The landlord just said that and left.

After the landlord left, my mother sat on the chair with some weakness, staring blankly in front of her eyes, not knowing what to think.

The older brother seemed to remember something and got up to chase the landlord.

My brother won't be back soon.

"Is Li Ru Ping them. " The elder brother comes back to looking at us to say.

"What do you mean? " I didn't know what was going on.

"I just went out and asked the landlord who the buyer was, and he told me it was a man named Li. Besides Li, who would deliberately give us a hard time? " My brother put the towel on the table, "I'll go and ask them about it, " he said angrily

Said the elder brother turning to walk toward the doorway.

"Stop. " Mother snapped stop brother, "nobody is allowed to go! "

We were scared by the sound of my mother's voice. My mother was calmer than when I had just heard the news.

"They're trying to corner us, it's not that simple, " my mother said, looking across the street at the store.

Speaking of the snack bar across the street, there is a sign for sale for some time, two old also not anxious, the store has no sale of things, they are slowly packing things.

Listen to my mother these days said, occasionally someone will come to ask the shop price, but did not say a few words, was the old man with a stick away, so these two days to ask the people are less.

"Lulu, how much did they charge the last time you asked? " My mother asked me calmly, as if trying to calm herself.

"One thousand, five hundred. " That's what the old man said.

"But I think one thousand, five hundred is a little high, one thousand can talk down. " I think 70 yuan per square is a good price, and for a higher price, I think this GRANDPA is selling head.

"Okay, one thousand, four hundred. " Mom made up her mind. I said yes.

"But... " I thought of Mother said before that money is not enough, how can this and promised to buy it. $1,400 is only $100 short of one thousand, five hundred. You can't have it before, you have it now.

"The money thing, mother to think of a way, enough money, we will talk to the old man tomorrow. " Mother said began to continue to pack things, ready to go home.

In fact, I found that a lot of times, once my mother made a decision, my brother and I simply can not refute the ability, can only speak about her, but if you can raise money to buy the store, for us, absolutely no harm.

When I got home, my mother went into the room and soon had to go out again. I think something's wrong. Hold on to mom.

"Mom, what are you going to do. " My eyes have been staring at the mother hand tightly seized the thing. I caught a sharp glimpse of green.

"Mom, can not. " I use the back of my head spoon to think can know what the mother is in the hands of the thing, did not think to say.

"nothing, just an object, put it is also put, sold can be of some use. " said the mother will go to the door.

"Stop Mom, brother, " I yelled from the house, knowing that my brother was packing in the yard.

"Mom, what are you doing? That's the only thing grandma left you. " My brother also saw it.

"Mom knows, but mom doesn't wear the bracelet, does she? People think in their hearts, not by an object. " Mom said, looking at the bracelet and then said.

"presumably he won't blame me. " Mother forced a smile.

But I know how much this bracelet means to mom. Mom always takes out a bracelet when she is sad and wipes it carefully. She always keeps it in good condition.

"Mother, we can not sell, first mortgage, and then we earn money to buy it back? " I see the mother's attitude is determined to sell the bracelet, so put forward the proposal.

"Not enough. " My mother shook her head, and then I clearly saw the tears in her eyes fall.

"I have calculated that all the money we can use is not enough, and we are still a hundred short. If we sell the bracelet, we may be able to sell more of it. "
